Cornaa Valley, Cronk Eary, Lien Eayst Shieling Mounds

Archaeology

A group of shieling settlements found along the Cornaa Valley, Maughold. At least thirty-two shieling mounds are situated in the valley, which probably should be considered to belong to a single shieling.


This example is a circular mound built up on the south side by 1.6 metres to form a level top with a diameter of 5.5 metres. The top is surrounded by a circular bank average. 0.1 metres high with an apparent entrance in the north west. A stream coming from the north west passes the mound on its north eastern side. The mound is grass covered but largely composed of stone and is apparently a hut circle. It is set on land falling to the south.
